A poor man
With four daughters
A wife and a son
Daughter commits adultery
Or so he was told
Bought a knife and machete
After Friday’s prayers
Feared the young would follow old
Thought all must be killed
For your honor
You will slaughter
Every one of your daughters
For your honor
You will slaughter
It’s you who should be slaughtered
Terror grips the steel with hunger
Thirsting to avenge its soiled pride
A shamed mad man
You take their lives away as they sleep
The blade kisses at their throats
Life bleeds without a chance to weep
You take, you take their lives away
Yet a man unrepentant…
Don’t you realize,
You murdered your own children?
Call that, honorable cause?
For your honor
You will slaughter
Every one of your daughters
For your honor
You will slaughter
It’s you who should be slaughtered
Terror grips the steel with hunger
Thirsting to avenge its soiled pride
A shamed mad man.
You take their lives away as they sleep
The blade kisses at their throats
Life bleeds without a chance to weep
You take, you take their lives away
For your honor
You will slaughter
Every one of your daughters
For your honor
You will slaughter
It’s you who should be slaughtered
Terror grips the steel with hunger
Thirsting to avenge it’s soiled pride
I see a mad man.
You take their lives away as they sleep
The blade kisses at their throats
Love bleeds without a chance to weep
You take, you take their lives away
these are the lyrics as it is in the cd packet
